The rumor that GTA 6 pre-orders would start soon at Best Buy appears to be false. Internal emails from a big distributor show the retailer had the wrong details about the dates.
The story began when Best Buy sent real emails to content creators about a GTA 6 pre-order campaign running from May 18 to May 21. This excited fans and raised the game companyโs stock price.
A GTAForums admin verified the person who shared the correction and confirmed it came from a real company email address. The company is now fixing the mistake.
No GTA 6 pre-order pages are live on major stores right now.
Rockstar Games has not made any official statement. The game is still on track to release on November 19, 2026
